For an unforgettable fishing trip around St. Simons, Jekyll, and Sapelo Islands, look no further than Mr. Fireman's Fishing Charters. Led by the expert Captain Vashon, you’ll benefit from a knowledgeable guide who knows these local waters inside and out.
You’ll ride in comfort aboard a 34' Grady-White Canyon 336 center console, which accommodates up to six passengers and features premium amenities like a private bathroom, AC/heat, a microwave, and a sleeping area. Mr. Fireman's Fishing Charters provides all essential rods, reels, tackle, and live bait. To keep you energized, trips include snacks, drinks, and hot coffee.

Depending on the season, you may hook into a wide variety of species, including Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, Gag Grouper, and African Pompano. Whether you prefer spinning, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or spearfishing, you are welcome to keep any catch within legal limits.

For high-adventure Gulf stream runs, Mr. Fireman's Fishing Charters requires a three-day booking window to ensure the safest sea states and optimal weather conditions for your trip.
During these extended excursions, you can expect: to have a wide spread with outriggers out and Troll for elite game fish like Wahoo, Blackfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Billfish, or utilize deep-drop bottom fishing techniques for Large Mutton Snapper and Grouper.

You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 20% tip.

Please be advised that guests are responsible for any fishing rods or reels lost overboard during the trip. Whether the loss occurs through an accident or an intentional act, a $500 replacement fee will be charged per item.

The charter boat covers your fishing, state, and federal permits and fishing licenses, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special size rules or limited seasons.  PET FRIENDLY

A nonstop bent rod afternoon!
4hr Near Shore pm on March 26, 20263 adults

This was our first charter with Cpt. Vashon. When the NWS posted gale warnings for the day of our charter I had some concerns but Cpt.Vashon was on top of it with excellent communication and arranged a different day and time. He and Devin were on time and fully prepared with a beautiful boat. Our near shore charter was great with plenty of seabass, mackerel and bluefish providing an almost nonstop bent rod afternoon. My son did catch a redfish but it had to be released due to size (too big). We brought home a cooler full of cleaned fish and Cpt. Vashon provided a full bag of ice for the trip home. We all had a great afternoon and look forward to future charters. This was our third charter along the GA coast and so far the most successful. Highly recommended.

Brunswick Fishing Trip
6 Hour Trip –Wreck/Reef/Offshore AM on April 25, 2026

I live in Ga. this was a local fishing trip from my wife. I recommend using Captain Vashon for next inshore/offshore experience. He will put on the fish and have you catching fish or getting great bites from the first time you drop your line in the water. Them it's up to you to show your skills, but he will assist in helping if needed. His price is very reasonable. He is my go to guy in Ga. and far the best charter I've used thus far.

R-5 Naval Tower: Fishing Trip
8 Hr Trip–Fishing R5 Naval Tower AM on April 4, 2026

This trip was incredible. The captain and the first-mate were very relaxed and one is a former-army engineer. Being a Veteran myself, and two of the others attendees we all clicked instantly. My wife and I enjoyed the weather, laughing at a shark tearing apart her catch, and seeing who could catch more. I would 10/10 recommend this trip to anyone who wants to get back on the water and enjoy fishing again.

Vashon Herring
Response from Captain

Thank you, Blain. yall were an awesome group and 100% a trip for the book between the back large black sea bass and the red snapper wearing yall out and the pricless reactions. its was great. we hope to see yall again soon.

Amazing fishing trip with Captain Vashon
Nearshore Wrecks and Reefs on August 19, 20262 adults4 children

So much fun. Captain Vashon put us on tons of Black bass right away, caught a flounder and red snapper as well. The pièce de résistance however, was the 10 ft tiger shark we caught and released. Will book another trip with Captain Vashon.

8 Hr Trip-reef hopping on August 16, 20262 adults

The Capt and 1st Mate were great. They tried several techniques and put us on Fish. Only thing I would do differently is contact the Capt before I book, so he can advise what the best trip is for the time of year.
